Other people have answered your question from a technical perspective,
but also be aware that linking with the MySQL client library may
impose licensing requirements (i.e. require you to GPL your
application).




I guess an option would be to create and open source an intermediate daemon application to run alongside my commercial app interfacing a generic query from my app with the MySQL C- library. Does anyone know if this type of thing exists already ?



Apache and php... Notice that you're entering a gray area with regards to what constitutes linking and what is application i/o. If it is an opensource application but it's pretty much useless to everything but your commercial one I believe the FSF considers that to be linking even if there's no sharing of address space.

Or just use PostgreSQL

see, nice, friendly licence.
